“Lies and Deceit: Five Films by Claude Chabrol

Claude Chabrol was one of the most prolific filmmakers of the French New Wave, working consistently from the 1950s through the 1990s. Arrow Home Video, one of the best companies in the world for film collectors, has assembled five of his relatively late films, all releases in the 1980s and 1990s. It’s a somewhat bizarre blend of styles, including the dry comedy of something like “Cop au Vin” and the period melodrama of his Isabelle Huppert-starring version of “Madame Bovary.” The best two films in the set are probably “Torment” (or “L’Enfer”) and “Betty,” but the real draw here is how much love and care Arrow has given these works. They include three 4K restorations and an amazing amount of special features (check out the list below), accompanied by gorgeous packaging and an 80-page booklet. Critics gave their time for new commentaries on all five films, and each disc includes incredible archival material.
